MACHESNEY PARK - Neighbors to an undeveloped field that could be rezoned to accommodate several duplex units are rallying for the next round with Hawk’s View, which is both their subdivision owner and the proposed duplex developer.

The plan is to meet at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Rascal’s Bar and Grill, 5223 Torque Drive, in Loves Park, according to the neighbors’ Hawks View Residents Unite Facebook page.

“Village thinks we need more varied housing,” neighborhood organizer Gayle Ciembronowicz wrote in another recent posting. “We need to show up with facts on police calls, number of empty apartments currently available, etc.”
Single-family home dwellers are concerned about the duplexes attracting low-income residents. The developer has said that’s not the plan.
